Rice Pilaf

4 Tbsp. butter
6 clothes garlic, minced
2 cups rice, uncooked
5 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375ยบ.

In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add garlic and rice and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.  Stir in 2 cups of broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.  Pour mixture into a large casserole dish, cover and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove from oven and add remaining 3 cups of broth, stir, cover and bake for another 15 - 25 minutes, until water is absorbed and rice is tender.  Stir in lemon juice and fluff with a fork.
